Help for Children & Teens

Among the most vulnerable living in the Washington region are children and adolescents. We recognize and believe that every child deserves the opportunity to grow and learn through a loving childhood, that family is the most important key to success and that it takes a community to raise a child.

Family Preservation

The Family Preservation Program works with families in crisis who have abused or neglected a child to ensure the child is safe and then work with parents to create a safer and more nurturing home. This service is available to families who have been referred from the Prince George’s Department of Family Services.
